Chapter 455: Grass, Wood, Stone (2/2)

”How do you know that?” Mo Wuji blurted.

”Because I found the true [Grass, Wood, Stone] in Hundred Flowers Manor. Clearly, Hundred Flowers Manor intentionally wanted to divert Lao Cai’s attention to my step-mother.” Han Qingru sighed once more, almost everything in this world seemed to be a scheme or a ploy.

Mo Wuji really wanted to ask whether he could take a look at the [Grass, Wood, Stone], but when he saw the expression on Han Qingru’s face, he didn’t actually open his mouth.

Without needing for Mo Wuji to say anything, Han Qingru handed an ancient manual over to Mo Wuji, ”Junior Brother Mo, you’re rather knowledgeable with drugs and herbs. I will give this genuine [Grass, Wood, Stone] to you then. The [Hundred Flowers Collection] and the [Hundred Grass Collection] that I wrote back in Hundred Flowers Manor was based on the fake [Grass, Wood, Stone], so nobody knows that the real book is with me.”

”Many thanks Senior Sister Qingru. This book is extremely useful to me. After I’m done with it, I will return it to senior sister.” Mo Wuji was not overly courteous; he immediately accepted the [Grass, Wood, Stone].

Han Qingru waved her hand, ”I’m not a drug refiner, nor a pill refiner. This book does not mean much to me, so there’s no need for you to return it.”

”What are senior sister’s intentions after today?” Mo Wuji asked, after carefully keeping the [Grass, Wood, Stone].

Han Qingru’s gaze looked empty as she stared outside the cave. After some time, she finally said, ”I originally wanted to use the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition to go to Yong Ying Immortal World and find my father. But now, I don’t know where I should go, or what I should do.”

Mo Wuji finally understood why Han Qingru questioned him about his purification abilities; so it was because of this reason. He couldn’t bear to poke holes at Han Qingru’s aspirations; Han Qingru was not very experienced, so she didn’t know that even if she engaged his help, she wouldn’t be able to take part in the alchemy competition.

”Senior Sister Qingru, you can stay with me temporarily then. I will think of a way to send you to Yong Ying Immortal World.” Mo Wuji resolutely decided that he was going to help Han Qingru go to Yong Ying Immortal World.

Han Qingru nodded, ”You would need to condense your immortal lattice before you can enter Yong Ying Immortal World. Otherwise, you would be crushed into blood mist by the Immortal Seeking Staircase.”

When he heard of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, ”Senior Sister Qingru, I don’t know anything about the immortal lattice, or the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Isn’t this the Immortal Domain? Why is there a need to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase?”

Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. She didn’t understand how an Earthly Immortal like Mo Wuji was completely unaware of such things.

Mo Wuji did not lie to Han Qingru, and he said candidly, ”I secretly snuck here from Half Immortal Domain, so I don’t know anything about these.”

”You’re from Half Immortal Domain? You’re not a cultivator from Yong Ying? How were you able to get past the radiant blade array at the edge of the Immortal Chasm?” Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in aghast.

Mo Wuji could only say, ”I was extremely lucky. If I didn’t meet Dao Friend Wen Lianxi, I would have probably died. Oh right, who was that red robed girl from Hundred Flowers Manor that went to find Wen Lianxi?”

When Han Qingru recalled Mo Wuji’s adroit skill with arrays, she recovered her countenance. She promptly understood Mo Wuji’s question, ”She’s a relative of Lao Cai’s. She was actually stationed at Hundred Flowers Sect to monitor me. She isn’t a bad person, and she’s quite a reckless person. Wen Lianxi’s Manager Qian Shan was a friend of my father’s. Eventually, he condensed his immortal lattice and climbed the Immortal Seeking Staircase to enter the Immortal World. The reason why he was able to leave the Immortal World and come here together with Wen Lianxi, was because of Wen Lianxi’s startling clan power. They were actually able to take out a regulation talisman for him to use. I heard that Qian Shan had brought you to Hundred Flowers Manor after meeting you along the road, so I guessed that you weren’t related to Lao Cai.”

”Then why don’t you get Qian Shan to send a message to your father?” Mo Wuji asked.

Han Qingru shook her head and didn’t answer Mo Wuji’s questions. How powerful was the He Lian Merchant Union in the Immortal World? Qian Shan was merely an underling. How long did her father enter the Immortal World? If she got Qian Shan to deliver the message, she would only be harming them. Her intentions were to obtain a placing to the Immortal World through the alchemy competition, then secretly leave to find her father.
